My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

If Pongo had a personality twin, it might be Frosty the Snowman — light-hearted, optimistic, and friendly with everyone he meets. He seems to believe the world is a good place, and he invites you to believe it too. Pongo is the kind of dog who brings laughter, warmth, and a little extra joy wherever he goes.

He’s still very puppy-like in the best possible ways — playful, curious, and full of bounce — but always gentle and good-natured in how he interacts with people and other dogs.

He is a big, fluffy boy and watching him play is pure entertainment. He loves balls, though “fetch” isn’t really his style. Instead, he turns playtime into his own creative game: tossing the ball into the air, pouncing on it, dropping it and swatting it around with his paws like it’s the most fascinating thing in the world. When he runs — whether on his own or alongside another dog — he doesn’t barrel forward at full speed. He leaps, twists, and turns through the air in a loose, wiggly, almost slow-motion kind of way that makes everyone stop and smile.

Despite all that playful energy, Pongo also enjoys his calm moments. He’s happy to settle in and soak up gentle pets, leaning into people and appreciating the connection just as much as the fun. He has an easy, friendly way about him that invites everyone to enjoy him.
